The RTRS Soy Footprint Calculator is an online tool that calculates the amount of soy used to produce different kinds of soy industrial by-products, feed products and food products, using a conversion factor system based on two alternative models, namely (i) an economic allocation model, and (ii) a demand allocation model. Information regarding these models and other technical information regarding the RTRS Soy Footprint Calculator is available here.
The development of the RTRS Soy Footprint Calculator was commissioned by RTRS to 3Keel LLP, a firm of sustainability advisors specialized in food systems, supply chains and landscapes.
The RTRS Soy Footprint Calculator was developed using the best available public information on soy conversion factors, which was analyzed and compiled into two research reports on soybean equivalents commissioned by RTRS to Universidad Austral, a private prestigious Argentine educational and academic research institution, and 3Keel LLP.
Neither RTRS nor any third party provide any warranty or guarantee as to the suitability of the RTRS Soy Footprint Calculator for any purpose. RTRS is neither responsible nor liable for any direct or indirect damage whatsoever arising from, or otherwise related to, the use of
